Dartmoor Gliding News - Saturday 7th December 2013

The day started with low cloud and drizzle. So hurry up and wait. The time was not wasted however. After getting the gliders out, the Pirat was reassembled and has finally had it’s C of A inspection completed. All that remains is the ARC paperwork to return it to fleet service.

How many glider pilots does it take to assemble a Pirat? That will be 9 then.

Our One Day Course candidate, Chris Skinner, was given a good introduction to the club and gliding, a controls lesson on the simulator, by which time conditions had improved sufficiently to allow flying to start. By the end of the day Chris's flying was showing real promise.

 Mike Jardine and Rick Wiles continued their instructor training throughout the day. The big news today is that John Blaskett has re-soloed. Well done John.

John is congratulated on his solo by CFI Don

The day finished which beer and social chat in front of the roaring log burner.
